prints . letter addressed on one occasion TO
Grant by Rawlins, which shows very clear
ly how the superio. man was in the sub,r-
dinate place. Rawlins said to Grant that
IL he did not intend TO keep his pledge to
abstain from liquor, he, Rawlins, desired
to be detached from his command. Grant
yielded. lie could not afford 10 part with
80 true and wise friend, who gave him-
self up TO him and helped him with wise
counsel in every situation in which he was
placed. 1t is easy to understand how Grant
would have failed miserably but for Rawlins
to save him from himself. The best boon
any man can have is friend 50 wise and

have been small indeed not to have been
great when so supplemented.

During all the time that Grant was reap
ing in the field of glory Rawlins was by his
side complimenting his talents, keeping
his simplicity from imposition and his
weakness from yielding. We can under
stand how it was when the great pillar Of
support fell away from him, that he be-
came the victim of the evil men who
crowded around him as president; and
how, when he came again to private sta

The Prodigal Son of 1887.
Burdette, in Brooklyn Eagle.

No, my son, it isn't that the world has grown hard hearted; it isn't that we aren't just as glad to-day to see the prodigal come back, and just as lovingly anxious to welcome him home as ever was anybody in the fifteenth chapter of Luke. It is the manner in which the prodigal son of 1887 frequently returns that throws a wet blanket over the festivities of the welcome. When he comes down the road with his hat hanging on his ear and his hands in his pockets: when he kicks the faithful old house Jog as he lounges in at the gate; when he calls his father "Guvnor," and the hired man "Cull;" when he wants to know "What's for dinner?" before he has been in the house fifteen minutes 1; when he gives his elder brother two fingers to shake, and advises him to comb the hayseed out of his hair :; when he throws himself into the easiest chair in the house, perches his feet on the window sill and announces that he'll "take tub before dinner" when he comes back with a generally forgiving air of good fellowship about him, and tries to make all the rest of the family feel very easy and treasured, then it is, my son, that your father longs to run and meet you while you are yet great way off, and fall upon your neck with a plow-line and welt you into a state of becoming humility and penitence by the time you are ready to take off your hat to the bound boy, and crawl up the front steps to ask your brother to shake hands with you. Good peo- pie are just as glad to-day as they ever were, my son, to see the prodi- gal come home, but it does rattle them little to see him come home in hack and ask them to pay the driver and send for his baggage.

Railroad accidents are becoming alarmingly frequent. Some of the lead ing newspapers advocate the estab- lishment of an additional railroad commission tor a widening of the jurisdiction of the interstate commis- sion) to inquire into the causes of &C., cidents and, if possible, to hold the railroad companies responsible. A great many accidents are no doubt due to mismanagement. In the pre- cipitous rush of money getting, hu- man life becomes matter of small importance. The Monon route, it can be truthfully affirmed, would not fall under the condemnation oS such commission, for it is conceded fact that no road in the country is man. aged with more care. Every depart ment is complete-every man com- pelled to discharge his duty. The comfort and safety of passengers re- ceive first attention, so much so that Gas safe as the Monon" isa comparison often heard by travellers. General Passenger Agent Mccormick has won the confidence of the public, and, by rendering excellent service and full filling every promise, will retain it.
 It is not in the way of an advertise ment that we pronounce the "Monon" inferior to no road in the country.

Mir. Tilden's Doctors Bill.
New York Times


 The admirers of Samuel J. Tilden. who took pleasure in proclaiming on every possible occasion that he pos- sessed more Jeffersonian simplicity than any man of his weight in the country, were of course unaware that he owed doctors bill of S143.OOO. A bill of such magnificent, not to say startling, proportions and Jefferso- nian simplicity could not possibly run double. For the purpose of sup porting the sage's reputation for sim plicity some of his admirers may argue that Mir. Tilden may not have been aware that he owed so many bags of gold for medical attendance and apoth- ecary's wares. The trustees of the estate, it is understood, take this view of the matter, and the impression among the people who know anything about it is that the coming century will be considerably advanced before such bill is paid at the face.
 One of the trustees looked surprised yesterday afternoon when asked if payment had been refused of the bill presented by Chas. E. Simmons for medical service and attendance upon Mr. Tilden. Instead of giving a plain and satisfactory answer to the ques- tion, the trustee said that Dr. Sim mons was the proper person from whom 10 get information on such a subject. Then, of course, the reporter gratefully accepted the statement that the matter was private, not a public one. The trustee would not say that payment of Dr. Simmons bill had been refused, but he smiled when the amount, $143,000, was mentioned.
 Dr. Simmons, who is also a commits sioner of charities and correction, was more willing to talk than the trustee bad been. He talked all around the bill, but never mentioned the amount. The latter was stated to him, but even then he failed to deny or affirm that the figures were correct. He promptly denied that payment had been refused, but admitted that he had not been paid. Any delay in the matter should be ascribed to him, he said, and not to the trustees of the Tilden estate. Without giving the amount ofhis bill, Dr. Simmons explained how a bill could reach very large proportions. He had attended Mr. Tilden for eight years, or, to be exact, for seven years and eleven months. During that pe- riod he had visited Mir. Tilden every day, probably. He was MT. Tilden's friend as well as his physician, and considered Mir. Tilden his best friend. Mir. Tilden had always done every thing ill his power for him and his being on such terms of intimacy, it seemed natural that a settlement should be deferred. It was postponed to such an extent that Mir. Tilden died without making one. Dr. Simmons said settlement would be reached without any trouble when the proper time arrived. He and the trustees would meet and adjust the matter. He, too, was unable to see why the public should be particularly inter- ested in his bill until he was assured it was solely on account of it's size. About that he had nothing to say, nor did he offer the reporter a copy of the bill.
